after all of the convincing, we finally saw bright star together around a month ago. i thought it was pretty powerful! especially during the credits. i wish we watched it in a larger theatre. i’ve read about people’s experiences and some have said that the entire audience was awe struck and overcome with the beauty of the entire film while the credits were rolling!
the movie made me want to know more about john keats and also know more about poetry. maybe if i read his letters and his poems it will be one step closer to understanding!

for the past four years my aunt has ordered us the santa’s choice (formerly chrisco) hampers. it’s probably the highlight of my winters. although, i have to admit, it does suck when you don’t eat meat and there’s an entire box dedicated to steaks, hamburgers, roasts, and ground beef. needs more falafel, perogies, and other yummy foods.
i still don’t know the best way to make perogies, though. they are delicious when they don’t have seasoning on them (in my opinion) but i would like to know what the proper way to cook them is. they are maybe the biggest hassle to make and adding spices/anything to them may make the process even worse but they are just too delicious. i want to know what the best vegetarian dishes are and how to make them. maybe when i figure it out i’ll post it here (considering the three of us are in the same boat). i’ve had a family friendly vegetarian cook book for quite some time that i need to crack open!

speaking of delicious foods, i’m not sure if the sushi experience was a success or not. i guess it was but asian taste has nothing on toronto’s takumi. although, the service at asian taste was far better than takumi and sun sushi. the resteraunt felt very comfortable and honestly felt like we were just sitting in our own house!
